| Autry! Rawks! |
It's the 1st of Rocktober. As we kick off our Rocktoberfest, let's start close to home.
As in Portland.
As in my RAWKING COUSIN...
Growing up with Autry (she was like a second little sister through elementary school) was awesome, and I can't think of a better A to kick off Threeow's Rocktober Alphabet. She's local, talented, and tastefully over the top.
Rob Cullivan over at the Tribune summed it up well:
If Cyndi Lauper hadn’t acted so ditzy and Ani DiFranco joked a lot more, either woman might’ve been Autry, a Portland punk-meets-the Roaring ’20s singer-songwriter who’s so clearly out of her mind she just might be the sanest of us all. Not to mention she’s got a heckuva set of pipes and could hold her own against a lot of blues shouters if she so chose.
Here's an old version of one of her more out there tunes - "Bug". Enjoy. Find more at her myspace.
LET THE ROCKTOBERFESTIVITIES BEGIN.
